ミンダナオ開発庁(Mindanao Development Authority:MinDA)所長のエマニュエル・ピニョール氏は、先日フィリピンを襲った大型台風Rollyで被災した地域に対し食糧支援を行う用意があると発表した。
ピニョール氏は自身のFacebookページにて、ミンダナオの食糧生産者たちに対し、「台風で被災した地域の農業は大きなダメージを負った。ミンダナオの養豚および養鶏業者、漁業関係者が支援していくべきだ」と訴えた。そこでMinDAでは、PSI Air Cargo社と提携し、国内の隔離された地域に対し食糧を空輸するプロジェクト「Mindanao Food Skyway」を立ち上げると発表した。
同氏によると、11月12日に食料輸送の開始を計画しているという。さらに同氏は、このような事態になると先を見越し、PSI Air Cargo社に輸送機3機を手配するよう依頼していたという。また、既にそのうち2機は出発する用意が出来ているとのことだ。
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
